Kentucky Girlhood Project - Mariam Silliman Party 1

We would like to announce The Kentucky Girlhood Project: a provocative and multifaceted show of works produced by women from Kentucky with a particular interest in the theme of adolescence. Initiated by Louisville artists Laura Parker and Jill Frank, and supported by a grant through the Kentucky Foundation for Women; The Kentucky Girlhood Project specifically seeks to highlight current female contemporary artists working in all areas of Kentucky, in all mediums. The exhibition runs from September 14th to September 21st at both the Glassworks Gallery and Actors Theater with a blowout opening night on September 14th of live performance and visual art not to be missed!Laura Parker and Jill Frank, both 1997 St. Francis High School graduates, initiated this project in order to create an outlet for their own work, as well as begin a dialogue with other female artists from all over the state whose work related to similar themes. In order to find new talent, the first-time curators took many trips around Kentucky, meeting artists and posting flyers, reaching areas and meeting people that would be otherwise inaccessible. To experience some of these curatorial adventures around the state, visit The Kentucky Girlhood Project blog at (http://kygirlhoodproject.blogspot.com/). The blog has been and will continue to highlight selected submissions, and explain more about the project and its goals. Please join us for an opening night of unique and compelling artwork and performance!The Kentucky Girlhood Project Presents:One night, two venues—On September 14th, 2007, join us for an evening of new artworks from leading contemporary female artists, authors, musicians, performers, and much more!Glassworks Gallery, downtown Louisville at Ninth & MarketOpening ReceptionSept 14, 8:00 – 10 pmGlassworks, downtown at Ninth & MarketFreeSponsored by BBC and TARCThe Late Seating at Actors presentsKentucky Girlhood ProjectSept 14 at 10:00 pmThe Victor Jory Theatre and the Victor Jory LobbyDoors open at 10 pmActors Theatre, downtown at Third & MainPerformance, music and art from the Kentucky Girlhood Project, highlighting current female contemporary artists working in all areas of Kentucky.
